This site's exposition
and pitched in Zalmonah
on Numbers 33:41-49
Zalmonah and Punon fall between mount Hor and Oboth, which is the stretch where Numbers 21:4-9 sets the fiery serpents and the serpent of brass that John 3:14-15 takes up by name. The mountains of Abarim before Nebo at verse 47 is the ground where Moses will be shown the land and die, in Deuteronomy 34:1-5, and the list names the place without saying so. Abel-shittim at verse 49 is the Shittim of Numbers 25:1, where Israel joined itself unto Baal-peor. The record of the stages stops at the camp where the plague of chapter 25 fell.
